Hi,
To all of you that gave me excellent information on these needles I have final decided to purchase the ChiaoGoo 7500-C Twist Red Lace Interchangeable Set, 2.75-10.0mm 5" from Amazon.com since I live on a border town, five minutes to cross over.
The cost is $102 US funds with free shipping. Sold by "Fun Stuff for Sale" with 99% positions rating. There is also one from the "BT Group" with the same rating.
Has anyone ordered from either one of these sellers? Any information would be much appreciated.

You will love your Chicago set, I now never use anything else.....I also bought the mini set, as I like knitting socks and small baby wear ☺

Oh I'm in Australia, I got mine from eBay....they also sell the cables separately, I've been buying a few extras ☺☺

Be careful, I read that sellers of Chiagoo needles on Amazon are not authorized dealers and therefore the company does not warrantee them. Smartartisans. Com currently has them on sale, more expensive, but they are an authorized dealer.

Check with handsomefibers.com to see what their price is for the same product. And do check to see if this company guarantees this product for defects and is willing to exchange defective items. If you should go with this company save your receipt and all correspondence. You'll need it.

This advice is correct for Knitters Pride needles. However, it is not correct for Chiaogoo needles. Before I invested in my complete set from Amazon, I called the US distributor to ask about the warranty and was told that they will replace defective needles regardless of where they are purchased. The rep said, "if there is ever a problem, that's our issue, not our customer's."
Having had many defects in my KP needles, this was all I needed to order. I compared prices Amazon vs Handsome fibers and on the day I ordered, Amazon was significantly less. That's not always true but it good to check multiple sources.

Wow, what a great response. I purchased a set of Lace from Amazon and a set of the bamboo from my LYS. Amazon was cheaper, but I like to support my LYS when I can.

Good advice from Melgold! I got mine at Smartartisans.com and I'm very happy with their 2-day free shipping and the needles.

Update....
First thank you for all of your help with these needles.
I ordered them and just received them today, they are perfect and I love them.
I bought them from amazon.com from BT Group for $103.00 US funds and free shipping, so with Canadian exchange in total it came to $130.00 + $7.00 for US bridge and $3.00 to pick-up for a total of $140.00 Canadian. I inquired in Canada at a yarn shop and was quoted $275.00, so I guess I did really well lol.....
